台湾游 2014 part 1: Tai Chung Sun Moon Lake, Wenwu Temple, Peacock Garden, Hot Spring stay.

Hiya folks! Over the Good Friday long weekend, we headed to Taiwan and had the most incredible time there!
The weather in Taiwan was perfect, and we went to mostly different places than the previous time we were there.
 
The minute we touched down to Tao Yuan International airport at Taiwan, our guide, Aunty Mei Hua, picked us up and headed towards Tai Chung, where we would stay at the hot spring hotel for the next 2 days.
 
DAY 1
Sun Moon Lake.

A lavender carpet. Absolute love.





Wenwu Temple


Peacock Garden

Reached our hotel, Honey Moon Hotel to retire for the night. 

Boys are thrilled!
 
The premises of the hotel is peaceful and unpopulated. Offers a wonderful respite.

DAY 2
In order to get to the breakfast place which served fresh eggs which you cook in the hot spring, we had to walk 10 minutes on a little path that cuts through a valley.


We're here! A quaint little shop where the owner is friendly and there is nobody else but us.
In fact, the whole area is quite unpopulated due to the previous earthquake which rendered this place not tourist-safe anymore.
I heard from the locals that gradually, this place might become obsolete in future, which is quite sad really! I love this place! It is breath-taking.

Fresh free-range kampong eggs.





My in-laws enjoying their foot soak in the hot spring while waiting for eggs to cook.
The water is super hot! Like "wanna pluck chicken feather" hot.

After breakfast, Aunty Mei Hua fetched us from our hotel lobby and we headed to other parts of Tai Chung, namely Cing Jing and Taichung night market.
